The most famous lace fabric is, of course, guipure. Inserts made from this fabric allow you to turn an ordinary dress into a festive outfit.

History of fabric

The name of the fabric comes from French, the word can be translated as “air openwork”. The fabric is a type of lace with a convex through pattern.

Guipure was first produced in the 16th century and its homeland is Venice. At first, this material was produced in the form of braid, used to decorate outfits; later, the fabric began to be produced in the form of a single piece.


Nowadays, the production of guipure is automated; machines make patterns according to the program entered into them. To make guipure, natural (cotton, silk) or synthetic threads are used. There are several options for guipure on sale:


  • Classic. Tender and beautiful fabric, used for sewing and decorating clothes.
  • Metallic. Made with the addition of shiny threads, the fabric has a characteristic shine.
  • Net. The thinnest type of guipure, the material is almost transparent.
  • Elastic. The fabric is made with the addition of elastic threads, so it has excellent stretch; this option is great for making inserts on dresses or blouses.

Application

Guipure is used mainly for sewing elegant clothes. Since this material is translucent, dresses and blouses are sewn on a cover. But dresses with guipure inserts are no less popular. Such outfits are elegant, elegant and seductive. To combine with guipure, different fabrics are used, most often satin, velvet, chiffon, silk.


Photos from fashion catwalks make it clear that the use of guipure to decorate evening, wedding and even everyday dresses is often used by designers. Any fashionista can afford such dresses, regardless of age and physique. You just need to choose the right style and color of the outfit.

Varieties

Guipure can be used to cut out various details of a dress. This fabric is used for small inserts or individual elements of the outfit are completely cut out of it.

Lace top

Outfits with a bodice made of guipure and skirts made of a different material look gentle and feminine. Of course, to make the outfit look decent, the bodice is made of two layers: the top layer is cut out of openwork guipure, and the bottom layer is made of thick fabric.



Guipure is often used to make individual parts bodice. For example, a classic solution is a dress with a guipure insert in the front. Such an insert is appropriate even in business clothes, provided that the insert is not transparent. In this case, the guipure is simply applied to the front piece, cut from the main fabric.

Belt

Belt - interesting detail, allowing you to correctly place accents. The lace belt looks especially impressive.

For example, White dress It will look especially impressive with a lace belt in red, blue, green or black. Against the background of a black dress, a belt made of metallic guipure in silver or gold will look original. The belt can be either sewn in or made as a separate part.



The shape of the lace belt is selected depending on the type of figure. Women of fashion with a figure are most fortunate; they can use any lace belts for dresses - wide, narrow, with decoration.


If the figure resembles a silhouette, then you need to give preference to wide guipure belts, they will emphasize thin waist and will distract attention from wide hips. If the silhouette of the figure is closer to an inverted triangle, then it is recommended to use thin lace belts. But for girls with a rectangular body type, corset belts made of elastic guipure with a slimming lining are ideal.

Hello, dear Fchane!
This is my first MK. I hope it will be accessible and understandable. If you like it, I will add more master classes in the future. Everyone who saw my last publication probably understood how much I love dresses) And this time, without thinking for a long time, I decided to sew another one. I found the idea with inserts on the Internet. Unfortunately, I don’t know the brand of the dress. If anyone knows, please tell me (I still wonder who I plagiarized from). Here is a picture from the Internet

For work we will need:
1) threads for knitwear
2) scissors
3) chalk
4) paper for patterns
5) black oil knitwear 1.5 - 2 m.
6) transparent bi-elastic knitwear, hereinafter referred to as “knitted mesh” 0.5 m. I don’t know the exact name of this fabric(
She looks like this


1) We build patterns, or copy suitable ones from a magazine. Front panel, back panel, sleeve.


2) We also make patterns for the neck facing, 4 cm wide.


3) Now you need to draw the cutout locations on the front panel. They should be at the waist. Cutouts can be arbitrary, but care should be taken to ensure that underwear is not visible in the cutouts.

4) To make it more convenient, I shaded the side triangles; they will be cut from a knitted mesh.


5) Cut the pattern along the drawn lines.
A.


6) All details of patterns. We transfer them to fabric. We transfer the shaded parts onto a knitted mesh. Seam allowance - 1.5 cm. Hem allowance for hem and sleeves - 2 cm.


I decided not to use an overlocker, since the oily knitwear does not fray at the edges, even after machine washing (a lazy person will always find an excuse).
7) The cut front panel must be “assembled” back. For this I used tailor's pins.

Closer photo.


8) We grind all the parts of the front on a machine.


9) On the wrong side, bend the seam allowances so that they are not visible through the transparent fabric. Iron it with an iron.


10) We do the stitching (with larger stitches).
